1. A computer-readable memory storing instructions that, if executed by a computing system having a processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

  • for each of a plurality of consumers,receiving information associated with energy usage of the consumer from a database,receiving background information about at least one property of the consumer from the database, andcreating one or more energy benchmarks that measure the energy usage of the consumer;

    creating an energy performance display that communicates the one or more energy benchmarks to at least one consumer from among a subset of the plurality of consumers;

    receiving a challenge definition from the at least one consumer from among the subset of the plurality of consumers,wherein the received challenge definition defines an energy conservation challenge that is associated with reducing energy usage and that is based on at least one of the created one or more energy benchmarks; and

    measuring performance of each consumer of a group of at least two different consumers according to the received challenge definition.
